Palword is filled with over one hundred Pals to befriend, fight, and find - but which ones are the best? With a whole wide Pal-filled world to explore, you'll need to cover a lot of ground to find every single Pal for your Paldeck. Which Pals, particularly Fire Pals, are the absolute best and strongest? We've ranked every Fire Pal from best to worst - take a look to find out the best Fire Pals in Palworld.
Disclaimers About This Tier List
This Tier List ranks Pals on their base type, power, ease of catching, and general abilities. Keep in mind that Pals have different passive and active skills, so a lower-tier Pal with great passive or active skills might outperform a higher-tier Pal without them. This list also only considers Fire Pals to be those with the Fire Element as their primary element - some Pals, such as those with Dragon-Fire typing, will be considered on their own primary element list so as not to overlap.
Best Fire Pals in Palworld - Tier List
Is it getting hot in here? Fire Pals have come out to play - and they're smokin'! A unique elemental family, Fire Pals have an advantage over every other Pal: they're super effective against two types, Ice and Grass, instead of just one like every other elemental family. As if that wasn't enough, Fire Pals also have some incredible moves, Partner Skills, and Work Suitabilities. The competition for S-Tier was certainly fiery, so take a look at our rankings for the best Fire Pals in Palworld.

How We Ranked the Best Fire Pals
When coming up with our rankings for the best Fire Pals, we looked at several different categories: power, Partner Skills, Active Skill pools, how easy it is to obtain them, and general overall usefulness. Here's what our Tiers mean at a glance:
- S-Tier: The best of the best, Pals in this category are the best in almost every situation.
- A-Tier: Great in all situations, these Pals are well-rounded and will be more than adequate for most players.
- B-Tier: Average to Good in a wide variety of situations, these Pals are solidly useful, but may be outpaced by higher tier Pals.
- C-Tier: These Pals are not generally recommended, however they still can find situational usefulness.
- D-Tier: The worst Fire Pals - unless you have no other options, not recommended for long-term use.
S-Tier Fire Pals: The Best Fire Pals
The absolute best of the best - this Fire Pal would make for the perfect addition to any team, and certainly handles its fair share of work in endgame assembly lines.
Blazamut is our pick for the S-Tier Fire Pal. This Pal has a ton going for it: it can be ridden, it has two fantastic high-level Work Suitabilities, it has a strong Partner Skill that plays to its strengths, and it has an absolutely brutal natural moveset, with access to two 150 Power abilities: Fire Ball and Rock Lance. To top it off, it's guaranteed to spawn as an Alpha Pal - meaning you're always going to be able to find one up, as long as no one's tackled its challenge lately. There's truly no match for this Pal among other Fire Pals, and its raw strength will be a phenomenal addition to your team.
A-Tier Fire Pals
While not quite S-Tier, our A-Tier picks are versatile, powerful Pals that make for a great addition to any team.
Fire Pals are a strong elemental family, so it makes sense we've got a lot of A-Tier Pals to choose from. Pals like Vanwyrm, Ragnahawk, Faleris and Suzaku are all Flying Mount Pals that will serve you very well, and while Vanwyrm and Faleris have the highest raw power of the four, they also have the weakest Partner Skills - so mixing and matching between them to meet your needs will fill any gaps in your team comfortably.
Wixen is the oddball in the A-Tier Pals, but don't underestimate it just because it can't be used as a Mount. It has a strong Partner Skill, strong Work Suitability, and an absolutely blistering moveset - with both Fire Ball and Dragon Meteor!
B-Tier Fire Pals
B-Tier Pals are solid middle of the pack choices - each with something a little special to make them stand out.
A large family brings with it many average choices, and each one of them has their own role when you need them. Pyrin, Pyrin Noct, Blazehowl, and Blazehowl Noct all serve double-duty as Mount Pals, which means they'll have a myriad of uses throughout midgame to early lategame. They also have fairly powerful movesets, but unfortunately their Partner Skills aren't quite as strong as they could be - which is the primary thing keeping these Pals from a higher tier.
Bushi and Gobfin Ignis, however, are slightly different. Bushi is a sort of Jack-of-All-Trades Pal, in the sense that its Work Suitability is wide-ranging and fairly useful for quite a long time. It has a solid case for a Base Pal easily through midgame, and also carries an Electric move within its natural moveset. Gobfin Ignis, on the other hand, is better in party than at base - but its moveset isn't quite powerful enough to catapult it up a tier.
C-Tier Fire Pals
Our C-Tier Pals suffer from the niche use curse - while in specific situations they're great, those situations just don't happen very often.
Some Pals may have the fact that they're a Mount Pal going for them, but these Fire Pals are more smoke than fire. Rooby and Kelpsea Ignis might be useful in a full Fire Pal team, but otherwise they're fairly outstripped - they just can't keep up with stronger Pals. Incineram, Kitsun, and Arsox have poor Partner Skills, and Leezpunk Ignis has an outright useless one, but its power helps balance that out.
Reptyro deserves a special mention, only because it holds promise as a Base Pal in particular - its real downfall is its Partner Skill. Outside of very early game, you're unlikely to be gathering ore while mounted, and you won't be acquiring Reptyro in the early game, so it's a bit of a paradox. Otherwise, it has decent power and decent Work Suitability - it truly is just that useless of a Partner Skill.
We wish these Pals had more versatile uses - unfortunately, outside of their specific niches, these aren't the Pals for a hard-hitting team.
D-Tier Fire Pals: The Worst Fire Pals
Unfortunately, there always has to be a Pal that wins the title of Worst Fire Pal - and this time, there are two.
Likely the first Fire Pal you'll encounter, Foxparks is a casualty of the fact that some Fire Pal had to be the first one you'd find. It's overall very weak, its Work Suitability is poor, and while its Partner Skill is a hilarious introduction to Palworld, it quickly loses its novelty and reveals itself to be underwhelming at best.
Flambelle, on the other hand, has power potential - but with a suite of Level 1 Work Suitabilities, it won't get anything done fast; its too likely to get distracted and bounce from assignment to assignment, meaning Flambelle is an ineffective worker. Not only that, its Partner Skill is worthless - while it is a passive form of farming Flame Organ, going out and killing a pack of Flambelle at once is a much more efficient farm for this item.
These Pals just couldn't quite cut it - and we recommend bringing any other Pals on this list along on your adventures before these two.
